Introduction The Agilent E1538A provides eight TTL compatible channels of digital I/O. Channels can be individually configured to perform any one of the following functions: • Input: -- Static digital state -- Frequency measurement -- Period meaurement -- Totalize positive or negative signal transitions -- Pulse width measurement -- Rotational velocity (senses added or missing cogwheel teeth) -- Quadrature position. (requires 2 channels) • Output (configurable as Open Drain or passive pull-up)

both full and half step modes.(requires 2 or 4 channels) The logical sense of input and output channels can be configured as inverted or normal. Input-configured channels have individually programmable threshold levels that can range from -46V to +46V. Identifying the Plug-on (IMPORTANT) There are two versions of the E1538A. The early version does not support a PERiod measurement command set. Early versions have ROM revision February 1998 and earlier. The later version adds period measuremen

Setting Configuration Switches The SCP has three packages of eight switches each. The package labeled OE (Output Enable) determines a channel’s I/O direction. The package labeled PU (pull-up) controls whether or not a channel is floating or pulled up to an internal 5V supply. The package labeled VRS (for channels 0 and 1 only) can enable special input signal conditioning compatible with variable reluctance sensors. For a discussion on using the VRS mode, see "VRS Mode Input Operation" on p

Installation Installation for this Plug-on is identical to other SCPs and is covered in Chapter 1 of your Agilent E1415 or E1419 User’s Manual. Connecting To The Terminal Module The SCP connections for the Terminal Modules are shown on the self-adhesive labels that come with the SCP. Use these to label terminal definitions on your terminal module. The connections are shown in Figure 3. Figure 3.

Figure 5 shows the shields connected directly to the E1415 ground. This is to limit potential noise on the digital wiring from affecting low-level analog channel wiring within the Terminal Module.

Figure 5. Recommended Connections and Voltage Limits Input and Output Characteristics This section describes the E1538’s channel input and output electrical characteristics. Refer to Figure 6 for the following discussions. Input Characteristics When configured for input, E1538 channels provide digital input through the threshold comparator. The digital input threshold level is programmable with a SCPI command from -48 to +47.625 VDC in .375V steps (relative to the Lnn terminal). The threshol

is to maintain a constant-level digital output while the input varies from millivolts to several tens of volts. For simple sensing of switches and open collector logic devices, a channel’s pull-up resistor can be connected by closing its PU switch. Figure 6. The E1538A Input/Output Characteristics VRS Mode When the VRS configuration switch is set to on, the input signal conditioning for that channel is changed to make it compatible with a typical variable Input Operation (SCP reluctance sens

Reading Static This means reading a channel’s current digital state when an algorithm executes. This is the default function assigned to all digital input channels Digital State after *RST and at power-up. To set individual channels to this function use the SCPI command [SENSe:]FUNCtion:CONDition (@). The value returned to an algorithm is a floating point representation of 0 or 1, depending on the state of the input signal and the channel’s INP:POL setting. To set channels 40 throug

About Period and The E1538A actually measures signal period for both the period and frequency functions. If the measurement function is set to frequency rather Frequency than period, the SCP returns the reciprocal of the measured period. The Measurements resolution of each period measurement is based on the time processor chip’s timer period (238.4nS). To improve resolution on faster input signals, multiple signal periods can be measured and averaged. For period measurements there are two
